Hypertextuality and Historicity in the Gospels

This book demonstrates that the Gospels originated from a sequential hypertextual reworking of the contents of Paul's letters and the Acts of the Apostles. Consequently, the new quest for the historical Jesus results in a rather limited reconstruction of Jesus' life. However, it can be reconciled with the principles of the Christian faith.
